Abstract:

In a world dominated by the visual, this book presents how a focus on
the sounded experience and acts of listening may carve a way to
reformulate emerging publics, create space for critical multilingual
engagement and deepen recognition of emancipatory practices.

Examining the emerging logics and rhythms among a group of post-EU
accession UK Polish migrants, this book focuses on the semiotic
processes through which contemporary moving bodies and communities
place themselves in sociolinguistic landscapes. It considers how they
develop metrics to account for sociolinguistic change and authenticate
their projects and practices in transnational timespace. In doing so,
the book brings power differentials to the centre of language and
objectivity debates and foregrounds material semiotics as an approach
that enables a new collective potential and redefinition of
sociolinguistic listening.

By connecting research on scale in migration contexts with studies of
embodied soundwork and of stance in semiotics, this book highlights
how a focus on the sounded sign may bring us closer to the ways in
which bodies and meanings are (re)made, and collective doing and
thinking are formed in the globalised world.
